python-bitwise_test

Performance testing of various Python packages on bitwise operations

• gen_data.py contains data generator
  • can be called from terminal
  • first two arguments are number of vectors and vector length, e.g.: python gen_data.py 1e3 2**16 -s byte
    • generates a vector of length 65536 and a matrix of size 1000x65536
    • some Python expressions work (e.g. 2**16)
    • stores data into HDF5 format as numpy array of type "uint8" (~byte)
    • call python gen_data.py -h for more info
  • other parameters need to be changed in the script itself
• hamming.py contains an abstract class for the Hamming distance calculation
• test_multiple.py calls the desired testing scripts (specify in the dictionary at the begining of the script)
  • some parameters like testing data can be specified via the command line, e.g.: python test_multiple.py -nv 1e3 -ne 2**16
    • will try to find data file(s) in the form "bits_1000x65536_{storage}_mutate.hdf5" and run tests on them
    • call python test_multiple.py -h for more info
